African project
Urban Man Cave – South Africa
Although the process took longer than initially planned, the end result is a deeper and more
functional skate bowl - one that will most certainly keep the teen and his friends entertained
for hours!
To embellish this remarkable feature, emerging South African street artist, Jack Fox, applied
his signature illustrations to the walls surrounding the bowl. The celebrated artist worked
without a set design and completed the impromptu artwork in a twelve-hour, non-stop
operation. Another striking design feature comes in the form of a grandiose, curved timber
wave that cascades from the ceiling down to the floor to create an extraordinary zone for
watching movies. This “wave” is crafted out of steel fins that are clad with timber and lit
up with three LED strips. It is kitted out with surround sound to produce a genuine movie
theatre experience.
The bar area is equipped with a stylish black Smeg fridge and cleverly positioned surfboard
rack, which is not only a functional feature but also displays the seventeen-year-old’s most
prized possession. The bar itself, which measures four and a half metres, is fashioned from
ground and polished concrete, perfectly matching the flooring. Clad with timber, the bar
exudes a robust masculinity. Next to the bar and adjacent to the timber wave is comfortable
booth seating. Framed with timber and upholstered in inviting shades of indigo, this nook
provides an enticing ‘chill’ spot.
